  Judith Blanton Wilkerson
 
         WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas honors and
  commemorates the life of Judith Blanton Wilkerson, who died
  April 26, 2019, at the age of 89; and
         WHEREAS, Judy Blanton was born on April 5, 1930, in Temple,
  to Katherine and Melvin Blanton; she attended The University of
  Texas at Austin, where she met the love of her life, the late
  William Wilkerson; they were married for nearly 65 years and were
  blessed with three children, David Wilkerson, Katie Wilkerson
  Carnes, and Noel Wilkerson Holmes; her four grandchildren and her
  great-granddaughter were a source of much pride and joy for
  her; and
         WHEREAS, Judy enjoyed a long and distinguished career as a
  journalist; she and her husband were involved in publishing the
  Comanche Chief and owned the De Leon Free Press before acquiring
  the Pleasanton Express, which won hundreds of awards in the time
  they owned it; she was known as a principled journalist who gave
  voice to women and minorities, and she was also active in a number
  of professional and community organizations, notably the South
  Texas Press Association and the Pleasanton Chamber of
  Commerce; and
         WHEREAS, She was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother,
  and she was a dynamic leader in the Pleasanton community, and
  later, in the Austin community; she was known for her unwavering
  commitment to helping the less fortunate, and she leaves behind
  memories that will be treasured forever by her family and
  countless friends; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
  Legislature, hereby extend sincere condolences to the bereaved
  family of Judith Blanton Wilkerson; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
  her family as an expression of deepest sympathy from the Texas
  Senate and that when the Senate adjourns this day, it do so in
  memory of Judy Wilkerson.
